PREFACE 

The Index to the Minutes of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association 
of the Union indexes all the minutes which are in print, also the Journal 
of Mrs. Susan L. Pellet, the first secretary, which records the preliminaries 
of the founding of the Association and its activities in connection with 
the purchase of Mount Vernon. This is a record of the years 1854, 1855, 
1856, 1857. 

No meetings of the Grand Council were held between 1858 and 1864, 
and none in 1869 and 1871. There were no minutes for the years 1858, 
1867, 1870, and 1872, but reports were printed and these have been sub- 
stituted for minutes in the Index. 

Gifts which represent a group of people or individuals whose names 
are not mentioned, are credited in the Index to the Vice Regent through 
whom they were presented.
